Diggy ~ (trial 7/10/15)

Hi my name is DIGGY!!

I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a sweet little Pomeranian X Dachshund and I am 11 years young (although I can act more like I'm 5 when I play). My old owners said that I didn't like other dogs or cats but I've been nothing but a gentleman to my canine acquaintances and my feline foster sister. I do take a while to fully come out of my shell but once I do it’s like I’ve known you for a life time!

A little bit about my diet, although I'm not fussy when it comes to my food I am however apparently allergic to beef, so I do prefer a chicken based meal and treats.

I really love a nice walk around the block in the afternoon with my foster mum plus a nice little belly rub of an evening… even a nice little ride in the car too. I really do appreciate a good squeaky toy or small ball I can chase for fun in the backyard. \ I'd describe myself as a low key low maintenance dog. My coat if I don’t say so myself is quite nice! With a few brushes a week it will stay very soft and shiny!

Throughout the day I am happy to stay inside the house but I really would love the company of my family more. It would be ideal if someone was home with me most of the time to play with me as I do like the company. I would prefer if my new family were older or had teenage kids so they could spend their days with me. I wouldn't mind if I was an only pet so I would be the only one getting spoilt rotten but I would also be happy to have a canine or feline sibling too.

I don’t really take the guard dog duties too seriously... I will bark to let my family know someone has arrived but otherwise I am normally not a real big barker unless you play with me and my squeaky toy! I also believe I am pretty well-mannered and my foster mum thinks so too. She says I am also a real pleasure to walk!!

I just love my foster mum so much and do love her attention (when I want it) otherwise I am happy to do my own thing and play with my own toys and chew on a good bone. \ I currently sleep inside down the end of my mum’s bed. I am great with personal space and I am not a bed hog at all I promise. I do sometimes hop down and sleep on the spare bed as well but I am never to be left in the cold outside at night!!

Enough about me… I can't wait to meet you all real soon!
